Plein Air Workshop: Forest Park in Watercolor- June 20, 2026

Welcome to this one-day painting workshop at my home in Northwest Portland. We’ll spend the day outdoors, surrounded by the serene woods of Forest Park, painting from life and connecting with nature. I’ll demonstrate the basics of plein air watercolor painting and provide various exercises to help you feel comfortable painting outdoors.

- If you prefer, bring your own folding chair.

- Be prepared to walk on uneven ground. Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes, and don’t forget a hat with a brim!

- Supplies are not included. I’ll send out a list of required supplies upon registration. Supply sets are available to purchase for $25: including a small palette of fine watercolor paint for you to keep, a brush, various fine watercolor paper, a board to tape your paper on, tape, pencil, paper towels, cup for water. PLEASE INQUIRE DIRECTLY TO RONNA to reserve your paint set!
